The most commonly repeated story behind the post-Thanksgiving shopping-related Black Friday tradition links it to retailers. As the story goes, after an entire year of operating at a loss (“in the red”) stores would supposedly earn a profit (“went into the black”) on the day after Thanksgiving, because holiday shoppers blew so much money on discounted merchandise.

When people succeed they don’t only do it to themselves. You look at someone like LeBron James who grew from poverty and you would think that when he was young that he thought he would never become a pro basketball player. But if you look at him now he has succeeded not only for himself for his family as well. He showed everyone that you goals are achievable. Many other people also do it to inspire other people.
